Like several related cases, her petition arose from vaccinations administered through a Kentucky mobile vaccination provider.\n\nThe public dismissal decision does not contain a detailed clinical account of the abscess.

Ms. Schueler filed no expert report.\n\nAfter the related Silvers proceedings, Ms. Schueler moved to dismiss her petition. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran dismissed the case with prejudice on September 5, 2025. No compensation was awarded. Ms. Schueler was represented by John J.
